Apocalyptic Four

Robert J. Sawyer is “the dean of Canadian Science Fiction,” according to The Ottawa Citizen, “just about the best science-fiction writer out there,” according to the Denver Rocky Mountain News, and “by any reckoning, among the most successful Canadian authors ever,” according to Maclean’s.

Robert Sawyer has this to say (among other things) about the Women of the Apocalypse:

This is, without doubt, one of the major theme anthologies of 2009, and deserves a place on the Aurora Award ballot — as do the individual stories. The anthology recently made the bestsellers’ list published in the Calgary Herald.

The Apocalyptic Four have been remiss!  Well, really, we’ve been extremely busy with a variety of book signings over this past month.

On November 13th (Lucky Friday the 13th) We shared Pages on Kensington Books in - Calgary, Alberta, with Craig DiLouie (The Great Planet Robbery) and we had a fantastic time!  Meeting so many new friends, and touching base with old friends!  Our thanks to Pages. And we are truly sorry 6 foot Ryan frightened you!  He had a sleepover, you see….

On November 21st, 3/4 of us — plus 6 foot Ryan of course — hung out at Wee Book Inn on Whyte Avenue (Edmonton, Alberta).

We sold a bunch of books, and met some wonderful people.  And dogs!  Must never forget the dogs!  Thanks to Dave the Manager and the wonderful staff.  We had a great time!

On November 22nd, we were thrilled to find out that Women of the Apocalypse made it on the Calgary Herald Bestseller List!  WooHoo!

The Women of the Apocalypse took flight at the official launch party in San Jose during the World Fantasy Convention. The collaborators (Ryan McFadden, Roxanne Felix, Billie Milholland, and Eileen Bell) finally met each other in person — as the entire project was written and compiled virtually.

It was a whirlwind weekend of signings, launchings, panels, discussions, and networking. The San Jose launch was the first of many readings and signing (for more information, check under appearances) across Canada.
